Original David Klein “ROME — Fly TWA” Linen‑Backed Vintage Poster — Bernini Fountain of Four Rivers
Original David Klein “ROME — Fly TWA” vintage travel poster — linen‑backed, conservation mounted, and NOT a reproduction. This classic TWA image highlights Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers in the foreground, with a ghosted St. Peter’s Basilica skyline behind it — warm terracotta sculpture tones, a pale blue water wash, and an elegant cream background create a timeless travel advertisement. A small TWA airliner appears near the header beside bold “ROME” and red “Fly TWA” lettering.
A very similar version was done with the Constellation Aircraft, much larger and higher in the sky. These would be the earlier versions of this poster.
- Original vintage linen‑backed poster, archivally conservation mounted on linen for stability and display.
- Condition: Excellent — clean surface, vivid original color, flat with professional backing; no tears or major losses noted.
- Finish: Unframed, ready for display or further professional framing.
TWA (Trans World Airlines) commissioned iconic travel posters by David Klein in the 1950s–60s to promote global destinations; his bold, painterly posters helped define postwar American air travel imagery.
